Re: [Cable HSI] Surfboard DHCP
I have to agree with Turbocpe here, you are only paying for one IP address so you will only get one from that modem. The switch will not work like you want with only the one IP address. If the router fails you will need another router, or purchase additional IPs @ $5 each from Mediacom.
However, since your router assigns IP addresses separately from the modem, you could put the switch behind the router if you needed to, but to the OP, sorry mate, it won't work. |

Albany, GA | I don't mean public IP addresses. The surfboard says it can hand out up to 32 private 192.1.100.xx IPs but that wasn't what we experienced. I can take a screen shot or link you to the documents if you don't understand. |

I misunderstood you at first I guess, BUT the 5100 will NOT act as a router and assign private ip address(while it has internet connectivity). I've never seen one yet that did. |
